Haha sorry, I probably shouldn't be in this thread -- mine is coming from Tigerdirect via UPS, I waffled too long on the Woot version and rectified the situation when someone posted the TD special :) But I figured we're all in the same boot, the gTab noobs that is.

Yes! just got mine, funny fedex driver was in a rental truck. Unboxing time :)

I'm in the same situation, last update was "Left origin facility" in Irving, TX yesterday at 10:17 am. Still estimated for today, though.
[G Tablet General] DroidHam:
let me know, mine is for tomorrow still
[G Tablet General] Thevanin:
Got mine at about 3:30 pm in central-ish PA.

FedEx forgot to scan it when it left the local warehouse. I was getting nervous thinking it'd be late until I was paged to come to shipping at work :D

Hutchins, TX

Anyone have the "In Transit Hutchins, TX" status? Also, is anyone in NY? What is your ETA date? For Brooklyn I'm getting 3/31 but it's still in the Lone Star State. Getting worried.:confused: Also, do you have to sign for it? Thanks
[G Tablet General] dhanifin:
I called FedX Monday to try and get the deliver address changed because I will not be home when it comes and they told me no Sig required.
[G Tablet General] jetguy35:
What worries me more rather than the shipping speed or the package's location at this point is the fact that at least 2-3 people have confirmed on either Woot or XDA that they received Gtabs that are in a non new condition. I'm really hoping mine doesn't fall into that boat...

You have to figure as well that for the people like us who check these forum a lot, there are most definitely wooters that will never even come to the forums and never report problems with their Gtabs to us. So I'm curious as to what percent are actually in a non new condition.

Fingers crossed for new and unmolested!
[G Tablet General] xdzt:
Yeah, I've had the "In Transit" message for some time. From googling I understand that that it means it's somewhere between Hutchins and a local fedex facility.
[G Tablet General] :
Thanks!

dhanifin big ups on the signature question too! :D
[G Tablet General] YsaFairy:
Mine's here, charged, came up 3389 and promptly offered me the 3588 update.

I have bought a few things from Woot. Great site, but it can take some time for them to ship. Deals on the items make up for that, plus it is $5 for shipping. :)
[G Tablet General] TheAnswerMVP2001:
I ordered one from Woot but also previously (about 5-6 hrs. prior) ordered one from Amazon for $100 more and was unable to cancel it. The Amazon one is arriving today, the Woot one I haven't even been notified it's shipped. Not really wanting to wait another week for the Woot one, anyone think I'll have an issue returning the one I purchased from Woot back to Amazon? If it's brand new and unopened I don't figure I'll have a problem, plus Amazon essentially owns Woot. I didn't know if Amazon recorded Serial Numbers or not, I figure they just go off UPC's which should be the same for both.

[G Tablet General] TheAnswerMVP2001:
I don't know if that effects the return, if I've opened the item and used it they might charge me some sort of restocking fee since I wouldn't be returning it for any defective reasons. Whereas if I just return an unopened item I only pay for the return shipping. I'm a long time Amazon buyer and have returned quite a few things over the years just never an electronic device. I figure I won't have a problem sending them the one I bought from Woot, as I seriously doubt they keep records of the serial number for the one you purchased, I was just curious if anyone had information otherwise. Speaking of Amazon here comes UPS with my G Tab now!! :D

[G Tablet General] DroidHam:
I'd consider it much more likely to send them a completely different product versus one you used and decided you didnt want. Check their return policy, they are a huge business, no way in hell they dont record serial #s
[G Tablet General] TheAnswerMVP2001:
It's not a completely different product, it's the same item, I'm not sending them back a View Pad. I've got the one from Amazon in front of me, there's no S/N on the box, there's the standard UPC code which is also shown on the packaging slip and should be the same for all G-Tabs. There's a smaller UPC code above that which I would assume is for View Sonic's purposes. But no definable S/N so I should be alright. Frankly I don't see why Amazon would care, I'm going to return it either way (this one or the one that shows up later), they're getting the same product and it's unopened, and they own both companies! I'll give it a shot, Amazon's always been accommodating when it comes to returns, after examining the box I don't think there will be any issues.

[G Tablet General] GoinEasy9:
Hi all

First post, just registered. I've been using the site for awhile ... lurking ... just waiting to jump out from the dark. Heh ... don't ask.

I have a D2, which, I haven't felt the need to root yet. But I really appreciate the work you do, and, when I started reading about the Android tablets being offered, I knew this was the one place to go for information.

While I don't look at the Woot website every day, I did see the headline on Reddit, and couldn't resist picking up a Viewsonic G at $100 less than I was planning to pay for it. It was between the Viewsonic G and the Xoom wifi that's coming out on the 27th. Well, for now, VS won. Anyway:

1) Order date 3/23. Receipt made it to gmail at 11:35PM.

2) Shipment update status? Shipped 3/28 ... Received FedEx tracking number.

3) Shipped from Irving Texas

4) Shipped to: Manorville, Long Island, New York.

5) Any updates along the way

6) Arrival date

I'll make edits when I learn anything further. Once again, thanks guys, this is the first place I go for Android Info.
[G Tablet General] Citi:
Ever since I picked up my DroidX last summer I have been a huge android enthusiast. When I checked Woot as I do every day I saw this gem. After reviewing the spec's I was shocked and new I had to buy one. It was when I came to XDA that I saw the dev community behind the gTablet and it sealed the deal. This will save me almost $300 over the WiFi Xoom and I couldn't be more excited.

Interesting enough this was my first Woot since 8/13/09.

1) 3/23 4:17 PM EST

2) Shipment update status?

3) Shipped from (if known)

4) Shipped to Connecticut

5) Any updates along the way

6) Arrival date
[G Tablet General] cruiser771:
The only thing id worry about is a time limit on returns, and your woot order taking longer than that limit
[G Tablet General] NinetyWt:
Didn't see this info posted - forgive me if it's somewhere I haven't looked yet.

From the Woot discussion thread:

The unofficial update is that many of these will ship today and tomorrow but there is an expedited inbound portion that may not turn around and make it out until Monday. We will prioritize by the time-stamp of your order.

Tracking emails are automated once your shipment label is generated and the order batch is released. We will split and release the shipped portion of the batch tomorrow so that your tracking numbers will send then. The remainder should ship and be emailed Monday.

So, I'm thinking some folks may get theirs as early as Wednesday of next week.

Thanks to Roebeet!!!

Got mine today. Wasn't one of the lucky ones. I charged mine for an hour and when I tried to boot it was stuck in a boot loop. roebeet helped me get out of it and then I couldn't update to 3588 OTA. Again roebeet helped me flash it with stock 3588. Now I am downloading tnt lite 4.4. Should I do that from standard recovery or use CWM?

By the way thanks for all the help roebeet. As soon as I get everything finished I am going to send a little something. You have been a big helped to lots of new users.

A New Hope

No mine did that and just said a few minutes ago that it's in NJ (I'm in NYC). I think there were so many of them that Fed EX got sloppy with the scanning.
[G Tablet General] ScottTFrazer:
Got mine today. On boot it didn't ask me for any setup stuff but prompted me for an over the air update. I did that.

After that whenever I tried to visit any SSL web sites or login to my gmail account I would get failures as if the device had no root certificates installed. Weird.

I followed these instructions and got TnTLite_4.40 running.

Amazon's android marketplace now happily installs as well. Overall, though, the interface seems very Phone-y. More than I would have thought. Is that a result of the TnTLite? or something else?

Disclaimer: I'm an Android noob. I've jailbroken my fair share of iOS devices, though.
[G Tablet General] dfin13:
Mine arrived today. TnT Lite installed, my favorite apps installed, the glory of all my favorite Launcher Pro widgets on one enormous screen ... even made my gf pop on to Yahoo Messenger so I could test the video chat haha.

It is very "Phone-y" as you described it, but we're all used to seeing it on a phone. After a while, it may seem alien to see it on your phone :)

If anyone remembers the scene from "A Christmas Story" where Randy has fallen asleep clutching the zeppelin he got for Christmas, that will be me tonight.

Mine came today. Despite the fears of getting a used / return unit, mine was shiny and brand new. Will charge and powerup tomorrow, and do the over-the-air update, then install clockworkmod .8, and start playing with the different ROMS.:)
[G Tablet General] TheFlyingPig:
Being delivered in NJ:)
[G Tablet General] dhanifin:
Got mine last night at 6:00. It came out of the box with 0% charge, charged it and did the OTA update. I'm going to play with it for a few days before I start modding it. I have had an android phone for over a year. TapNtap isn't anything like Pete's "stock" 2.3.3 I have on my D1. After an hour of playing with it it is already begging to install a ROM.

Got it yesterday; I've been reading this board for the last week daily (multiple hours each day, trying to learn enough of the basics to avoid bricking and to select the ROM(s) best suited to my needs), I carefully installed Clockworkmod and TnT Lite 4.4.0 this morning (this after the 3588 OTA update).

Many thanks to all the developers and also to those who wrote detailed installation instructions, making the process a breeze.

Mine is on the truck and I am home for awhile. Hoping I can catch it before I got back to work. Would like to charge it so tonight I can play with it. I think I am going to play with it for a while before changing out the ROM. As advised I will wait to see if Viewsonic comes out with OTA update. If not the flashing will begin.
[G Tablet General] Darkrift:
that could be 1-6+mo of waiting for an "if", when you can just root it, and later downgrade to stock and get their ota if you wanted it
